<P>This plugin allows you to select a Look and Feel other than the
default Java one and to specify the fonts for the different GUI
controls. It ships with the following Look and Feel implementations:</P>

<p>The Oyoaha and Metouia Look &amp; Feels do not work under Java 6 and
later.</p>

<p>
The &quot;Allow L&amp;F to set tilebar and window borders &quot;
checkbox allows you to specify whether the Look and Feel can set
these, otherwise the Window Manager will set them. This setting
only takes effect for newly created windows.
</P>

<P>The L &amp; F tab in the Global Preferences Dialog will allow you
to select the Look and Feel as well as optionally allowing you to
configure that Look and Feel if it supports configuration.</P>
<P>The Fonts tab in the Global Preferences Dialog will allow you to
specify the fonts used for various controls in SQuirreL. If you are
using one of the Plastic Look and Feels it is suggested that you
don't specify fonts on the Fonts Preferences Tab as these Look and
Feels do a good job of specifying default fonts.</P>
<P>Both the Skin and Oyoaha Look and Feels allow the use of &quot;skins&quot;.
Skin Look and Feel themepacks should be placed in the
plugins/laf/skinlf-theme-packs directory within the SQuirreL program
directory and Oyoaha themes should be placed in the directory
plugins/laf/oyoaha-theme-packs.</P>
<P>If you have other Look and Feel implementations that you would
like to use with SQuirreL drop the jar files into the directory</P>
<P>~/.squirrel-sql/plugins/laf/extralafs</P>
<P>where ~ is your home directory. This directory will be created (if
it doesn't exist) the first time you run SQuirreL with the Look and
Feel plugin installed. Then use a text editor to enter information
about the new Look and Feel in the file</P>
<P>~/.squirrel-sql/plugins/laf/extralafs/extralafs.properties</P>
<P>Each new Look and Feel should have a line in extralafs.properties
classnameX=LookAndFeelClassname which specifies the class name of the
Look and Feel (consult the documentation that came with your new Look
and Feel for this information) and an line jarX=JarFIleName which
specifies the name of the jar (or zip) file that contains the Look
and Feel. Replace X with 0 for the first Look and Feel specified, 1
for the second etc.</P>
<P>Here is an example:</P>

<pre>
classname0=com.incors.plaf.kunststoff.KunststoffLookAndFeel
jar0=kunststoff.jar
